All eyes on FIFA?
I'm sure Platini will let this one slide somehow. If the boot was on the other foot though....

He at least should comment.
If he does his remarks will be interesting.
If he doesn't...his silence will speak volumes.

The key moment
After 180 hard-fought minutes, the fate of both teams was decided by a moment of drama in extra time. The outcome remained in the balance until the very last second, and when the final whistle was blown the disappointed Irish could hold their heads up high.
FIFA website

They don't even mention the incident and these spineless hypocrites govern our game?!

Thats the silence i think we were all expecting. There cant have been a match report anywhere in the world that didnt even mention that Henry handled the ball, even if they were to put a different spin on it.

If ever you could define getting away with murder in football terms, that handball just takes the biscuit. It's a disgrace that the playoff draw was seeded in the first place as well. FIFA's excuse for a match report's an absolute joke as well.

Footballer narrowly escapes red card for farting in referee's face


Footballer Levi Foster got a yellow card – for farting in the ref’s face.

He was having his boots checked before kick-off when he broke wind.

Outraged match official Bunny Reid threatened to send him off until an apologetic Levi talked him into just a caution – as both sides burst out laughing.

The game ended in a 5-0 win for AFC GOP over Portsmouth Sunday league rivals Apsley House – with windy Levi named Man of the Match.

Levi, 30, admitted: “I had a curry the night before.”

I bet the name Windy Levi sticks with him for life now.

Other news;

Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen called on Fifa, football's world governing body, to order a replay, saying he would raise the issue with French President Nicolas Sarkozy at a Brussels summit.

But France's Prime Minister Francois Fillon responded that the Irish government should not interfere in footballing decisions.
BBC.

I bet he fucking did!

good to see walter smith ruling himself out the scotland job, as he's the only manager at this momment to guide the teddybears through these challenging times, and there could be a potential buyer for the club, glasgow born rangers supporter dave king, a very rich buisness man now residing in south africa, even my grannie was pleased...
